Uptown Theatre

"Outstanding venue for live shows. Has some excellent acts that tour big cities, but seeing them here is a more intimate experience."

"We saw Dogstar at the Uptown Theatre. This is a classy small theatre that has plenty of room in between seats. We had a couple of bottles of Mumms champagne. We sat on the left side of the orchestra seating area. Great fun!!"

"Wow, what a wonderful theatre!! I don’t believe there’s a bad seat in the house…even for those of us a bit vertically challenged! Seats were comfortable with great visibility, the acoustics were also perfect and entry and exit were seamless. Staff overall were pleasant, but I learned of an unnecessary and violence provoking experience that two of my family members experienced. When the show was over the staff was trying to get people to vacate and also trying to separate lines of patrons and one of the security guards pushed two of my female family members each in their chest…which should only be necessary during an emergency. Security needs to be educated on proper use of force…. Due to this incident I need to drop my rating down a star. Parking…there’s parking lots that surround the district and we had no issues with parking or departure."

"What a great venue. Came here for the first time to see Blackberry Smoke. We will be back. Pics are from out seat, we were in row R. Seats are comfortable to sit in. Staff that I encountered were very friendly and helpful."

"We go to a lot of shows all over the Bay Area (usually around 40-50+ a year) and the Uptown is easily our favorite venue. It’s a beautifully restored theater with a fantastic staff of professionals. The house sound system is excellent and sound engineers consistently do an outstanding job. Erica is the manager and I see her before, during and after every show. She’s always there welcoming guests as they arrive and she sees to it that everyone has a great experience every time. Parking is free, easy and safe and there’s a nice selection of great restaurants within walking distance. The Uptown is about 45-50 minutes North of where we live in Walnut Creek. SF has The Fillmore, The Independent, GAMH, The Warfield (and many others) and is a little closer but we don’t feel safe around them any longer. I can’t think of another venue that has it all like the Uptown in Napa."
